Manage the portfolio feature with Advanced Portfolio Pro

Advanced Portfolio Pro is the professional version of Advanced Portfolio. It is a Joomla! 3 extension developed by ExtStore Team, supporting users to create a neat, flexible and effective portfolio-based site. The component manages projects by tags or categories. Each project contains the short and full description, easy image management, video and metadata options optimized for SEO.

– How to add new items?

From the main menu select “Components” / “Adv Portfolio Pro” / “Projects”
– You will now see a screen with a list of all of the portfolio items on your website. From this screen you can add new items; edit any existing items, publish/ un-publish items, and even delete items should you need to.
– You have to start from adding a new tag in the component, without them you won’t be able to add new items. Add at least one new Tag. One tag can be applied to many different items across the portfolio.

Each new tag has its own name and alias. If you add one or more tags you can start adding new items.

You have to fill all fields marked with*: title, image, description, and tags.

(1) Alias – the Alias is used in creating the URL (website address) for the detail page. By default, the component will use the Title for creating the alias (with modifications) unless you type an Alias in yourself. Joomla will make the alias all lower case, replace spaces with dashes and take out any characters that can not be accepted.
(2) Image – About choosing an image for an item, you can use those which you have or upload a new one. We recommended image size: 1170px X 800px, but of course, if you only have a smaller one, you can also use them.

(5) Tags – All items are based on Tags system, which is similar to categories. Once you get to three letters you will start to see suggested tags that already exist. The advantage of this solution is that each item can be assigned to multiple tags. Also, the same tag can be applied to many different content items across the portfolio. Tags will be used to filter portfolio items.

(6) URL – Each item can include its own link. Leave this blank if you do not want to show project URL.
